The Xciter can control up to 20 fixtures, each up to 48 channels - max of 512 channels (soon to control up to 40 fixtures with a software upgrade). Up to 160 cues containing four sequences can run simultaneously. Sequences can be triggered via an internal clock, manually or via audio or BPM. Up to 10 manual override scenes can be accessed during playback. Also incorporated are 20 general-purpose buttons so operators can select cues or fixtures directly. Xciter also includes a joystick for manual pan/tilt control. Pan/tilt effects include timing effects and 20 pan/tilt presets. Other features include direct access to dimmer channels, a master fader adjustment for general light intensity control, and easy control of generic dimmers.
Xciter features an easy-to-read, blue backlight LCD display for show menu, dialogue and fader label presentation, as well as a jog wheel that makes it easy to scroll through fader pages. Xciter can be connected directly to a PC via the USB connection to update fixture libraries, export/import shows, for show back up and editing.
